Neglected Equipment: Powersports
Powersports equipment, including
motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles and scooters, often experience high-RPM
driving, throttle bursts and other harsh conditions that challenge the
lubricants used to cool and protect it. A large AMSOIL presence in the
motorcycle and snowmobile markets established through sponsorship,
advertising and the hard work of Dealers has encouraged tens of
thousands of enthusiasts to use high quality synthetic motor oil in
their powersports investments. A number of important applications within
the market, however, still tend to be neglected.
Chaincases & Gearcases
Chaincases and gearcases found in snowmobiles, ATVs and UTVs are among
the most overlooked applications in the powersports market, typically
because fill holes and drain plugs can be be difficult to access. Using
a high-quality, long-lasting synthetic lubricant becomes even more
important where the enthusiasts are likely to forget about checking or
changing the fluid. In addition, the chain and gears responsible for
converting engine power into motion encounter intense pressures and
loads that can rupture the fluid film of inferior lubricants, causing
wear and failure. Some enthusiasts use automatic transmission fluid or
automotive gear lube to save money. Neither fluid, however, is
specifically engineered for powersports chaincase and gearcase
applications, and either could lead to premature wear and reduced energy
efficiency.
 AMSOIL
Synthetic Chaincase & Gear Oil (TCC) is formulated with
extreme-pressure additives to help extend chain and gear life through
increased wear protection. It repels water while also inhibiting rust,
oxidation and foam. Its low pour point delivers superior low-temperature
performance, reducing drag to ensure maximum power reaches the ground.
Each bottle comes with an extended spout for easy, clean application.
Grease Fittings
As with chaincases and gearcases, greasable suspension, steering and
other points on powersports equipment are often ignored. Although some
newer models don't contain grease fittings, owners of older models often
aren't aware their machines must be periodically greased.
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Racing Grease (GRG),
Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease (GLC) and
Synthetic Water Resistant Grease (GWR) all provide
exceptional friction-reduction in powersports applications. They seal
out contaminants and provide longer service life compared to
conventional grease.
  
Engine Oil
The ATV and UTV segments of the market present a unique challenge;
people use them year-round in a variety of demanding climates. Someone
may use an ATV to plow in Wisconsin, while someone else uses a UTV for
hauling freight in Texas. Although owners may be unaware, lubricants
must be tough and versatile enough to tackle temperature extremes and
high-RPM applications.
Scooters, meanwhile, also operate at very high RPM, placing a great deal
of strain on their engines, particular air-cooled models. In addition,
ATVs, UTVs and scooters can sit idle for long periods, inviting rust and
corrosion formulation. Engine oil can accumulate even more contaminants
when equipment is driven short distances. These conditions can quickly
deteriorate conventional oils, leaving components susceptible to
premature wear and failure.
 AMSOIL
Formula 4-Stroke® PowerSports Synthetic Motor Oil
(AFF) is specially
formulated for ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles and other powersports
applications. Its broad viscosity range and wax-free formulation make it
excellent for use in both hot and cold temperature extremes. As an SAE
40-weight motor oil, it provides outstanding protection for
hot-operating engines, while its 0W rating and -60°F pour point ensure
easy cranking, excellent cold-weather starting and quick post-startup
protection. It's also wet-cluth compatible and excellent for use in
transmissions.
 AMSOIL
Formula 4-Stroke® 10W-40 Synthetic Scooter Oil (ASO) is
formulated specially to meet the special needs of today's high-tech air-
and water-cooled four-stroke motorized scooters, offering excellent wear
protection and friction reduction for longer equipment life and cooler
operating temperatures. Its exceptional shear stability ensures
consistent viscosity protection and provides additional protection for
transmissions and gear boxes, while its friction-modifier-free
formulation ensures wet-clutch compatibility and smooth clutch
operation. A special anti-corrosion additive package provides long-term
protection during periods of inactivity and storage.
